10.3 Glossary Antenna A device that collects and radiates electromagnetic waves. Includes a satellite dish and broadband antenna. DiSEqC DiSEqC(Digital Satellite Equipment Control)system, it is a communication bus between satellite receivers and peripheral equipment using only the existing coaxial cable. DVB The Digital Video Broadcast group was created to establish a technical framework for the introduction of digital video broadcasting systems. LNB (low-noise block converter) or LNBF An electronic unit mounted on the satellite dish. It receives the signals reflected by the dish and converts them to signals that can be used by the digital satellite receiver. GHz The prefix giga means milliard, and Hertz means cycles per second. Signals in the GHz range are often called microwaves. MHz The prefix mega means million, and Hertz means cycles per second. MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group. Established by the International Standards Organization to provide the basis for a picture coding and compression system. -39-
Forward Error Correction(FEC) A system of error control for data transmission. PID(Packet Identifier) A set of numbers that identifies transport stream packets containing data from a single data stream. Polarization Polarization allows several programmers to be fit into the same frequency band. The signals from a satellite are transmitted either with linear (vertical or horizontal) polarization or circular (right or left) polarization. QPSK(Quaternary Phase Shift Keying) Phase-shift keying in which four different phase angles are used. Transponder An automatic device that receives, amplifies and retransmits a signal on a different frequency. Symbol rate Speed of the digital transmission Scrambled TV programmer Some TV programmers are transmitted in scrambled form. SERIAL RS 232 A serial communication standard data port. -40-
